mayhem. would you perhaps have a few pictures to share of your prints on the metal plus?
I tried to pick up a lulzbot on the cheap (new) but it didnt meet reserve.
2200 is a lot to spent on a printer, especially if i can get this for much less but similar quality.
Ive never used the dual extruder (at the same time) on my flashforge, so i dont know if i would on the lulz, or pmp
I am not someone who likes to wait either… lead times on the printrbot metal plus is a long time haha
so that spool holder, yeah, quality is not there, but overall would you say the quality is very good?
ive heard really good things, and not so good… this is a HARD decision for sure.
It’s a really crappy photo, it actually looks quite good in person. I was talking about potato quality photo, sorry. Yeah they make amazing prints I think and so do my customers.
where are you at mayhem? would you be ok letting me taking a look at it?
they are sold out of the dual extruder w/ heated plate.
wondering how hard it would be to upgrade to the dual extruder.
Im VERY impatient haha. i should totally wait til i come back from vegas the middle of april, give myself more gambling money, but thats not how i roll
Yeah that has been sold out for a while. For the simple metal its just another board and a slightly different Hotend/exturder plate so I would think this one wouldn’t be much different. As far as a visit that would be up to the lord and master of all, the wife. We live in des moines but our shop is out in Blairsburg because industrial space is cheap and we have family out that way.
Maybe i dont need a dual extruder, since I do have one on my other printer… hmmm interesting… how do you feel the auto leveling sensor works? once calibrated, even if the bed gets unlevel it should be able to sense that and adjust each print right?
right now im leveling often
I’ve never do to re-level mine. I have it set to use the cura slicer and before each print it does a 3 point level check and corrects to any issues although being screwed down to a metal frame that doesn’t happen unless the sheet of PEI over it comes loose or something. A heck of a lot easier then the rostock… in fact im tempted to rig a probe onto it if it will register the bed. Its great, almost set a forget really.
yeah i wondered that too, if you can add a zprobe to the rostock :).
its a tough choice man… 2000 for the lulzbot and a little bigger bed, or 1200 for the metal plus.
Yeah I can imagine. I don’t think it fesable on the rostock because it detects metal at a pretty close prox and it has to see through all that glass. For the most part its going fine without that but it sure would be nice.
have you ever heard about http://www.3dprinterworks.net/creatorbot-3d-pro-packag3.html
large build volume. solid price… it looks intriguing…

That is intriguing… No I’ve never heard of it but now I may have a bit of printer envy… Which is not good for the wallet…
I ended up getting a Makerfarm Prusa I3v 12" so i have a 12 x 12 x 12 build platform and all in for about $700.
I added auto bed leveling to it (and it works great). Im still working (havent had much time to play lately) on getting it all dialed in, but once thats done, its a really nice machine for the price.
I still love the idea of the Taz, just 3x the cost
